What's not so great: Nothing so far

What's great about it: Good size, secure backing, slide-in battery, clear screen visuals
What's not so great: battery life not too great if you use the phone alot
This is one of the best phones Boost came out with so far. It is durable, and I like the fact that the battery slides into the bottom of the phone, rather than having to remove the whole back of the phone. It has good sound quality during phone calls and while listening to music. The camera has a flash, and it takes good pictures. This phone doesn't hold alot of internal memory; however, a SD card up to 32GB can be installed with no problem. The only main issues i have with this phone is battery life and downloading. The battery runs low pretty fast if you're using it alot for music or games, and the download time for apps can be very slow depending on the app. Otherwise, I recommend this phone.

What's great about it: pictures
What's not so great: Massive amount of Internal Malfunctions
The phone comes with an overwhelming amount internal malfunctions.
It comes with Apps pre-installed that you are not allowed to access or use which are CRUCIAL to maintaining a business if you are always on the run and need to be mobile.
I had run into an instance with this devise where it even came strait out of the package with an internal virus.
When using the internet, the screen and zoom becomes unstable and the keyboard is replaced by a duplicated picture of the website you are viewing making it impossible to use keyboard functions. Viewing "Desktop Mode" in the browser is not functional. Upon exiting the internet browse approx. 80% of the time the phone freezes and/or goes haywire for about 30sec. - 1m. then goes back the reboot screen and has to restart itself.
Multiple times a day it forwards nonstop phantom v.mails to your notification bar.

I would list specific smaller annoyances, but they are not hindering the actual function of the phone like the issues listed above.
Overall I would not suggest this phone to anyone but WARN anyone planning to purchase this devise.

What's great about it: Nice size screen, Light weight, Nice Apps, Battery Life is pretty decent
What's not so great: Camera sucks, Ringtone and other settings reset when the battery is removed from phone
I have had this phone since August 2012 and it definitely was a step up for Boost Mobile. The screen quality is crisp and clear, the phone is very light weight, and overall the phone appears to very sturdy as I've dropped it numerous times without my case on it and have yet to crack the screen or chip the phone at all. However, I would definitely advise buying a case.
I charge the battery and I unplug it at about 6:00 AM on weekdays, I normally listen to music and play games such as Ruzzle, Words with Friends, Subway Surfers, and other android apps until I arrive at work as well as make and receive calls throughout the day and surprisingly, my battery doesn't need recharging until around 1:30pm or so and compared to most of my smart phones I have to this battery life is pretty decent.
My only complaint with this phone is that like with all smart phones, you have those moments where you must pull the battery to get a fresh start (maybe too many apps open and task manager just doesn't seem to be giving enough memory free). When you pull the battery, your settings go back to default. My ringtone I have to reset to what I set it as, and also I notice that in some of my apps such as Temple Run, I lost my high score and achievements, it was as if I had just downloaded the app for that. So this is the only reason I give this phone 4 stars. Also, the camera sucks if you are in the wrong type of lighting, even with flash the pics come out with poor quality which should be much better for a 5MP camera.
Other than that, I enjoy it, the call quality and sound is pretty good.
This product is... Tough/durable

What's great about it: Better than my BlackBerry
What's not so great: Not enough memory
This is my first Droid and I like it much better than the BlackBerry I had before. I would have liked the salesman to have been truthful about how much memory it had. He told me 8GB when the phone actually only has 1GB. I have a memory card so it is not too bad, but the wrong information was not good. I really enjoy the Droid and use it much more than I did my BlackBerry.
This product is... keeps me connected., good for lists and notes.

Great call quality,fast net,fast downloads,processor more than adequate,big screen good for gaming, AWESOME CAMERAS great responsive touchscreen keyboard with no lag. Best Boost phone at anywhere near the pricepoint hands down... Very impressed. Returned a LG VENICE because of issues with it to get this phone you can see my review under that phones reviews.No complaints at all with this phone other than it is slightly smaller in size than the LG.

What's great about it: It's a pre-paid phone, with $45 unlimited everything. (YES it is 4G) This is way more then enough speed for my usage.
What's not so great: Battery could last a little longer when using the apps, but an extended battery can be bought if I find i need it.
I have everything I need at my fingertips 24/7 no matter where I am. I am not a person who is attached to my phone 24/7 or a full blown techie. The sound quality is very good. The on screen keyboard is big enough to type easily with my large fingers provided i hold it horozintal which is how I would hold it anyway when viewing videos, pictures and the likes. With an 8 gig card it still has plenty of extra space. If needed I can and will expand to 32. The screen is HD and i am quite impressed with the picture quality. For $249 bucks and unlimited everything I am quite satisfied with the phone and Boost Mobile. Overall Boost Mobile has the best deal out there. Been with them for years and never had a problem.

What's great about it: The price was $299, today $219.
What's not so great: Buy a phone cover.
Boost Mobile set up the service at Best Buy in 15 minutes, switched over my old phone. NETFLIX plays great on this phone and many other APS, I have never had an issue with the phone. If you plan on visiting North Dakota or upper Northern United States, broken phone service in Yellowstone National Park, luckily I had my BlackBerry.

What's great about it: It's very easy to use and has a lot of good applications that are fun to use.
The only small problem is the battery life. It needs a little bit of improvement there but then again, most smart phones batteries don't last that long either when using the Internet. I love my new phone.

My ipod touch has been put to pasture since acquiring the Evo Design 4G. The form factor is good and the screen is top notch. Construction is solid. Functionally it is excellent. I have found the ability to use it as a mobile hotspot very useful. This is may be the best model offered by Boost Mobile. The negatives are : 1. It is not as attractive as the Galaxy; and 2. Battery life can be short if you do not manage open apps and processes. I do manage apps and processes and bought an extra battery for trips.
